On the first appearance of the symphony in 1968, Deryck Cooke observed that Rafael Kubelik was “essentially a poetic conductor and he gets more poetry out of this symphony than any of the other conductors who have recorded it”.

Chestnuts galore. My only serious disappointment concerns the Nietzsch ''Midnight Song'' setting—nothing, I hasten to add, to do with Christa Ludwig, who is fine, but a question of dynamics. As the 1980 LP recording was not in digital sound and as the reading had itself evolved, Karajan seems to have needed little persuasion to allow the taping of the final, Berlin performance in 1982, I say performance advisedly, for what we have here is a single performance, though the dress rehearsal was taped as a precaution and used (I would suspect in the concluding The result is again exceptional. 17 comments.

They have always surpassed themselves in this movement, this symphony (after a decade-plus at their helm, Bernstein chose it for his final concert as Music Director—so it They do so again here. I can’t remember hearing a more turbulent and propulsive rendition, nor one that does so much to address the string-heavy bias of the Cooke realisation.Dausgaard sees the music differently from Yannick Nézet-Séguin, whose occasionally somnambulistic, less than squeaky-clean recent Montreal account is comprehensively outclassed. To this day, I have regarded Bernstein's handling of the last movement alone—that majestic D major hymn to life and love—as the model against which all others must be measured. (starting at [1] in each movement); I’m first giving the annotations in German (or Italian), as found in the score, then I’m giving my free translations as well. The musical canvas and emotional scope of the work, which lasts … Deutsche Grammophon 477 6334.

In the sections below, the recordings are discussed in chronological order (by the year of the recording).Walter, Haitink, Solti, Abravanel, and Bernstein were also present in my LP collection, the Sinopoli CD is from my parent’s collection, the others were added more recently, in order to have more recent interpretations for comparison.As mentioned, this symphony has five movements; I’m not going to attempt an analysis, but I’m merely giving an outline if the movements, based on Mahler’s annotations. In 1980, Karajan and the BPO made a memorable LP recording of the Ninth Symphony in excellent analogue sound (DG). Today, Mahler's music is still with us: it grants us inspiration, consolation and the light of hope. For one thing, the VPO play it much better than the NYPO of 1964, who were having a relatively bad day when the recording was made. The anticipation of the silence before the brass chorale deliver the ''This is the first time I have ever heard Bernstein conduct Mahler, and I certainly hope that it will not be the last.'' The resurrection of Mahler’s projected Tenth may have triggered a permanent shift in perception. On May 18, 1911, Gustav Mahler passed away. Remarkable, too, is the orchestra that makes it all possible: the New York Philharmonic. 5 by Gustav Mahler was composed in 1901 and 1902, mostly during the summer months at Mahler's cottage at Maiernigg.

As a performance it went further than any extant recording in distilling the music's essentially impersonal, other-worldly character whilst at the same time suggesting what EG, writing in the And yet the reading continued to develop. The opening funeral march may lack atmosphere and gravitas, but the turbulent second movement finds the Leipzig orchestra playing with surprising ferocity. 5 that's well worth exploring. The recording per se is very vivid too, bringing everything a little close in order to exclude audience noise. 25 (CD2, track 9) where the solo flute seems to levitate above the orchestra and three trumpets and one trombone (in the most exquisitely blended sound) softly voice once more the noble hymn, right through to the big release at 5'19'' of track 9 with its ecstatic brass harmonies (as fine an example as I know of consonance through dissonance).
If you only know the conductor from his buoyant post-authenticist work with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra you may be surprised by his force and conviction as a Mahlerian. The scherzo is excellently paced (just over 16 minutes), the Adagietto, as might be expected, is graced by some really lovely, songful sounds from the strings, and the finale has plenty of energy.
